Link-O-Rama-Jama: Book Thingo Podcast, Unusual Historicals & Archives

One of highlights of attending the RT Book Lover's Convention was getting to meet fellow bloggers who I hadn't met in person yet. One such blogger was Kat from Book Thingo, an Australian institution in the romance community. She asked to record a podcast with me, and given that I never can seem to pass up an opportunity to blather on about romance novels (and there's a lot of blathering...), I said yes. So we commandeered an empty conference room and viola! This is the result.

A minor correction - I'm no longer selecting adult fiction for Orange County, but that's where I was when I was awarded RWA's Librarian of the Year in 2011. I've since moved on, and up the ladder, with a different employer :)

Kat is such a lovely blogger. I heart her big time! It was such a pleasure hanging with her when she was in L.A. I'm going to put your podcast on my to do list when I get home since I'm blocked from Kat's blog at work. Grr.

You guys, my ears are burning! lol Thank you. :D Rowena, I was supposed to bring my recorder to our meet-up but I forgot. I'm still kicking myself for not being able to record an episode with you and the Book Binge ladies.

Blocked at work! I don't know if this is goals or or just further evidence that we are smutty and rude...

I had a FABULOUS time chatting with you at RT Kat! Definitely the highlight of that trip was running into several bloggers I had yet to meet in person. It made the long trek to the convention area and the smoke on the casino floor totally worth it.

I picked this up because I saw it mentioned in a Harlequin blog post (about cowboys!) recently and I'm nothing if not shallow. What I didn't realize is that it's book 2 in a continuity series (the other two books having been written by o...

This was kind of a mixed bag 3.5 Star kind of read - but I positively inhaled it, so I'm rounding it up to 4 Stars. The heroine is young, makes some seriously bone-headed decisions, but the author writes the heck out of this story and I ...

I should have DNF'ed this because it never succeeded in grabbing me. My reading experience here was largely indifferent, I suspect because the plot was a bit too loosey-goosey for too long. There's the long-lost son (hero) with an evil m...

My reread/revisiting of the McCone series marches on with this book that I vaguely remembered "really liking" back in the day. I still kind of liked it, but it didn't hold up as well for me as Trophies and Dead Things. I suspect because ...

#11 in the Sharon McCone series works best as a mystery if you're completely ignorant of later books in the series. The misdirection involving a secondary character would just play better. I liked this one, but wasn't in love with it. Th...
